PHULJHURI is the Creche Program for the children of 6 months – 3 Years of age group from the families where parents particularly mothers are engaged as informal workers and deprived from creche facilities for their children either from the employers of the government. SPAN runs 3 Creches for 90 children of tea garden labourers Kilkotte, Kalagatti and Washabari Tea gardens of Jalpaiguri District. These creches are organised in collaboration with respective Tea Garden Management. SPAN also Run 1 Creche at New Town, Kolkata for 20 children of urban informal labourers in collaboration with NKDA.
Gender based division of work assigns mothers, and in her absence other female members of the household, the responsibility of childcare. As a result, women, especially the poor and marginalized ones, bear the triple burden of housework, care work and paid work. Towards operationalizing the women led development SPAN runs these crèches in its operational area particularly in Jalpaiguri Tea Gardens and Newtown Rajarhat, Kolkata.
Each of the creches under PHULJHURI Program have trained caregivers and teachers who provides following services to the children and parents for their optimum development.
